Sketching Lines are Solid?

I just put Wildfire 3.0 on my laptop and my sketching lines are solid instead of dashed. The same goes for the x and y lines in the sketching mode. These should be dashed and it is driving me crazy. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?


Thanks, Steve

If it's construction lines you're after (lines to reference your sketch to), highlight and right click on the lines and select "Construction". Then they won't show up as part of your extrusion or whatever you're sketching.
 
I think there is an option to show selection or entity details in sketcher which will show you the entity IDs when you hover over them such as Line5 or Endpoint0 of Line 5.

show_selected_item_id YES/no*
active/default*

If a line or arc is construction you'll see (Construction) following the ID.

Or you can zoom way in and they'll appear as construction. If you select and Right click you'll see
SOLID option if it's construction or
CONSTRUCTION if it's Solid.
